Introduction to the TATA NANO
The Tata Nano is a proposed city car debuted by India's Tata Motors at the 9th
annual Auto Expo on January 10, 2008 at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India.
Called the peoples carin Tata's promotional material, it was projected to be the
least expensive production car in the world. The standard version of the Nano is
projected to sell for Rs. 100,000 (approximately US $2500, GBP 1277, or 1700) ,
not including fees or delivery. Newsweek identifies the Nano as a part of a "new
breed of 21st-century cars" that embody "a contrarian philosophy of smaller,lighter, cheaper" and portend a new era in inexpensive personal transportation
and potentially, "global gridlock". The Wall Street Journal confirms a global trend
toward small cars, led by the Nano.
The prefix "Nano" derives from the Greek root 'nanos', meaning dwarf as with
nanometer. "Nano" also means "small" in Gujarati, the native language of the
Tata family, founders of the Tata Group.
History and conception
The project to create a 1 lakh (1 lakh = 100000 rupees) car began in 2003, under the
Chairman of Tata Motors, Ratan Tata. The strategy behind the project was the awareness of
the number of Indian families who had two wheeled transport, but couldn't afford a four
wheel car, and was based on the company's success in producing the low cost 4 wheeledAce truck in May 2005.
The Nano was unveiled at the 2008 New Delhi Auto Expo.
Industry convention was that a reliable car couldn't be made at such a low price,
so initial media speculation was that the car would be a simple four-wheeled auto
rickshaw. However, The Times of India reported that the vehicle is "a properly
designed and built car". The Chairman is reported to have said, "It is not a car
with plastic curtains or no roof it's a real car." During development the
[6]
8/6/2019 Aslam Project
10/47
company reinvented and minimized the manufacturing process, brought in
innovative product design, and asked component manufacturers to look
at current work and design approaches in a different perspective to produce logical
and simple solutions. The car was designed at Italy's Institute of Development inAutomotive Engineering, with Ratan Tata ordering certain changes during the
process, such as reducing the number of windscreen wipers from two to one.
Financial projection:
Tata initially targeted the vehicle as "the least expensive production carin the world"
aiming for a starting price of 100,000 rupees or approximately $2300 US despite
rapidly rising material prices. Tata Motors has been able to cut down the cost of the
car by making things smaller and lighter, doing away with superficial parts and
changing material wherever possible. Tata Motors company had received lakhs of
enquiries through the internet for the Nano.
Tata Motors intends to open bookings for the car three months from now. Tata
Motors plans to produce 2,50,000 Tata Nano Cars in the first phase and add
1,00,000 in the second phase, taking the total production capacity to 3,50,000 cars
probably by the end the next financial year
As of August, 2008 material costs have risen from 13% to 23% over the cars
development, and Tata now faces the choice of introducing the car with an artificially
low introductory price, raising the price of the car, or foregoing profit on the car the
latter an unlikely proposition., while an increased price on the Nano will likely
decrease demand
Technical overview:
Design
The Peoples Car, designed with a family in mind, has a roomy passenger
compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four
persons. Four doors with high seating position make ingress and egress
easy. Yet with a length of 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and height of 1.6 metres,with adequate ground clearance, it can effortlessly manoeuvre on busy roads in
[7]
8/6/2019 Aslam Project
11/47
cities as well as in rural areas. Its mono-volume design, with wheels at the corners
and the powertrain at the rear, enables it to uniquely combine both space and
manoeuvrability, which will set a new benchmark among small car
Engine
Unlike other low cost Indian cars, this one is going to have a variomatic gear system.
Instead of manual gear box in conventional cars it is coming up as gear less or
rather with an automatic gear transmission. This helps to improve the efficiency &
mileage by magnifying the torque output.
As in international markets, the compact car from Tata will have back mounted
engine, pushing the luggage space to the front. Making the engine closer to the fuel
tank has another advantage of increased fuel efficiency. Rear mounted engine also
help in reducing the power loss during transmission. The car will have front disk and
rear drum brakes. The company claims mileage of 22 kmpl in city and 26 kmpl on
highway.
Fuel Efficiency
The Peoples Car has a rear-wheel drive, all-aluminium, two-cylinder, 623 cc, 33 PS,
[8]
8/6/2019 Aslam Project
12/47
multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two-cylinder
gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design
strategy has helped minimise weight, which helps maximise performance per unit of
energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a
specially designed electronic engine management system.
Safety & Comfort
By adhering to the fact that less weight requires less power, the 1 lakh car is made of
light weighing steel. This has made the Tatas come up with a cheap alternative with
out compromising on safety and performance. The base model will feature glass
windows that can be cranked up. The tail lights are expected to appear like as in
Tata Indica. Higher versions will have the comforts of power steering, power
windows, air-conditioning and much more. With an all sheet-metal body, it has a
strong passenger compartment, with safety features such as crumple zones,
intrusion-resistant doors, seat belts, strong seats and anchorages, and the rear
tailgate glass bonded to the body. Tubeless tyres further enhance safety. It
exceeds current regulatory requirements with a strong passenger compartment,
crumple zones, intrusion resistant doors, seat belts, strong seats and anchorage
Controversies Involved
Controversies also arose about Tata's planned manufacturing unit for the car in
Singur, West Bengal, where the state government of West Bengal has allocated 997
acres (4.03km) to Tata Motors. The construction of the car
factory on that tract of land will require fertile agricultural land and the expropriation
[9]
8/6/2019 Aslam Project
13/47
and eviction of ca. 15,000 peasants and agricultural workers. The affected farmers
fear they will receive inadequate or no compensation and therefore lose their
livelihoods. Activists near Kolkata, where Tata's manufacturing unit is located,
started burning the car in effigy. In New Delhi, a group of six women protested
wearing T-shirts bearing slogans that said, "The Rs 1 lakh car has Singur people's
blood on it." The Trinamool Congress alleged that Tata motors usurped the agrarian
land for the construction site and has threatened to stall the manufacture of
the car. The 11 cases were dismissed.
The Nano is alleged to have severely affected the used car market in India, as many
Indians opt to wait for the Nano's release rather than buying used cars, such as the
Maruti 800 (a rebadged Suzuki Alto), which is considered as the Nano's nearest
competitor. Sales of new Maruti 800s have dropped by 20%, and used ones by 30%
following the unveiling of the Nano.
It will be a tragedy if such a mega investment and employee generating project by
one ofIndias most respected company is lost to West Bengal on account of a failure
of communication among its stakeholders. Its time that we as a nation begin to think
of such projects as national projects and not become captive to immediate impulses.
There cannot be and must never be any contradiction between industrialisation and
welfare of farmers.
In a democracy, the sensitivity of all stakeholders have to be addressed and in the
context of land acquisition controversies, the new law of land acquisition and
rehabilitation, proposed by the UPA government, is the way forward. If the Tata
withdraws from the Nano project in West Bengal, investors sentiments will be hurt,
and the only way for the company to move forward is for all concerned to ensure a
political atmosphere conducive for investment. The Nano has 34 patents on the cars
design itself, which is a cause for national celebration as it represents a major
technological and manufacturing feat in the automotive sector. All projects of
technological excellence and originality that give India a special place in innovation
and unique competitive advantage, should be treated as national projects. The state
government should ensure the farmers are justly compensated in terms of price for
their land and employee opportunities in the car project through suitable policy
initiative. Democratic government is all about dialogue and moderation, and we hope
that the West Bengal government will initiate purposive dialogue with all concerned.After all, his unfortunate controversy must be resolved to the satisfaction of all
[10]

are also the special economic zones of Gujarat and Karnataka that hold promise. If
Tata decide to move, investors can take heart from the fact that despite delayed
production and eventually sales, the Nano will still find takers.
The global auto industry is dynamically establishing a niche as major economic
engines. Millions of aspiring Indians and the international auto markets watched in
awe, the launch of worlds cheapest car Tata Nano.
Tata Nano, launched by the $29-billion Tata group, is a believed to be a peoples
car. The car was launched in an auto expo held at Delhi on 10 Jan 2008. Ratan Tata
is a 70-year-old kind and tender chairman of the Tata group, drove this worlds
cheapest car to the Tata Motors pavilion and unveiled this new car, giving sleepless
nights to rival companies.
According to Tata group, the car will come out on Indian roads in the later part of this
year. The price of this car is a cause of astonishment and fear for all the other auto
companies who are now trying to reduce their market prices as to compete with the
launch of Tata Nano. The price of Tatas car is about Rs 1 Lakh ($2500).
Expertise in auto industry are raising doubts to the price, specifications, features and
safety of this cheap car but Tata promises the safety and emission standards. The
car had passed the Indian regulatory requirements, frontal crash test and the Euro-IV
emission norms. It is also tested for front, rear and side collisions.
This car is especially manufactured for the middle class population of India who
desire to have a safer means of transport at an affordable cost. It is a four-door car
with length of 3. 1 meters, height of 1.6 meters and width of 1.5 meters. It canaccommodate up to five people, a complete family.

The car beholds an efficient engine of 623 cc with an efficiency of about 20 kms per
litre of petrol. The highest speed is stated to be about 105 kms. The only missing
luxuries are air conditioner, car audio systems , power windows and motorized
steering. But the targeted customers are not so much concern with the luxuries as
they are with comfort and safety. For upper class population, Nano has also come up
with the deluxe model attributed with air conditioner.
After the commercial launch of Nano, the Indian roads especially metropolitan cities
like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore are expected to be flooded with Nano. A
city like Mumbai that has always experienced heavy floods during monsoons will
now experience a flood of Tata Nano. The cheap price will definitely replace the
used cars Mumbai . Used cars are just a pure consumption of goods for the middle
class population. Now, with the introduction of Nano, the demand for used cars will
certainly reduce.
OBJECTIVE
1. To study the main features that helps the consumer for the purchase
of Nano car.
2. To study the various factors affecting consumer decision for
purchasing a Nano car.
3. To study the after sale service of Nano car.
4. To study the customer satisfaction from Nano car.

SUGGESTIONS
Even though Tata products are globally recognized products among its customers
some
of the following suggestions may be help full in performing much better in market:
The customer tends to give more importance to quality, brand name and features
of any products before purchasing the. So a company should focus on these
aspects.
The company should focus on giving better quality product as most customers
were very brand loyal and were generally satisfied with the product.
Pricing did play an important role for most of the people
Most of the customers are willing to accept Nano in the current scenario where
the price is the major determinant
Advertising is one of the most powerful tool in the hand of any company with
which they can influence the customers
As this is the product made for Indian customers in mind we can say that it is the
one which is going to make the Tata happy for the launch
As it is generally accepted by people we can say that it will be the star product for
the people from Tata group

CONCLUSIONS
The research work embodied in this report is highly qualitative and is not amenable
for
vigorous hypothesis testing through statistical packages. However, based on our
analysis
of qualitative data, Tata Nano is accepted by people.
[34]

Also we have covered the behavioral aspect of consumers, concerning the pre
purchase
buyer behavior .Thus from the consumers perception as well as from the behavioral
aspect of consumers concerning purchasing behavior, company can plan their
promotional & service strategies based on these findings, in such a manner, so as to
increase the market share, reduce advertisement expenditure, increase the brand
awareness level among consumers, reduce customer complaints and thus targeting
specific segment of the market and reaching large base of customers.
This project has helped me understand the importance and significance of pre
purchase
buyer behavior and brand awareness for Tata Nano. It has given me exposure to the
practical side of conducting a research and at the same time enhanced my
knowledge by
applying theory learnt in class to practice.
The project helped me to understand the various parameters which customer looks
at
while making a purchase of a products, the various influencing factors while
purchasing,
the different brands which people purchased etc.
The survey gave an opportunity to get the feedback of customers about the Tata
Nano
Majority of the respondents have given a favorable opinion towards Tata Nano.
The survey indicates that some problems exist that deserve the attention of the
company.
They need to find out the consumer request regarding the color & other aspects..
The overall customers attitude towards Tata Nano is favorable & they are happy
with it even before the launch

Research limitations
My research investigation is beset with the following constraints:
The study is carried out considering only Bangalore city, so it will
face lack of depth study.
Feedback from respondents is limited 100 persons that is sample sizeis 100.
Only the respondent co-operation and true information in the study will
only give a clear picture.
